Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about private banking services, requirements, and processes.

Requirements

Citibank Private Client requires a minimum of $5 million in investable assets, though some services may require higher thresholds up to $25M for ultra-exclusive offerings. This positions Citi between mid-tier private banks (PNC $2M) and ultra-high-net-worth focused institutions (JPMorgan $10M+). International clients may face enhanced minimums depending on complexity and jurisdiction requirements.

Costs & Fees

Citibank Private Client management fees range from 0.75% to 1.75% annually of assets under management, competitive with peer institutions. For a $10M portfolio, expect annual fees of $75,000-$175,000. Additional costs include alternative investment fees, international service charges, foreign exchange spreads, and specialized product fees. Global complexity may result in higher total costs than domestic-only relationships.

Qualification Process

Qualification requires $5M+ investable assets, global service needs assessment, comprehensive due diligence across relevant jurisdictions, and relationship complexity evaluation.
